A popular Chinese New Year event is returning to Victoria after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Jan. 29, the annual Lion Dance parade and accompanying Kung Fu demonstrations will return to Victoria's Chinatown.
Hundreds of people gathered in Victoria's Chinatown on Sunday to celebrate the second day of the Lunar Year with a traditional lion dance. Jan. 29, 2017 , the Wong Sheung Kung Fu Club released videos of Lion Dances since provincial COVID-19 restrictions at the time prevented large gatherings. "The lions will make their way throughout Chinatown, visiting merchants who hang offerings of lucky money and lettuce for the hungry lions," reads the event description.
